A large chunk of yesterday's misery was leftover pain from the weeks before and all the rest was Weather. If I had looked at the weather radar, I would have gone to bed with a good book earlier, but I didn't, and I didn't trust myself (it being one of those days) and so I pottered and whinged. When I finally discovered that more incoming weather was going to cause more grumbles, I found the best of the books I was currently reading and I snuggled up under the doona and I wore out a battery in my booklamp. The end of the day, therefore, was as lovely as the rest of the day wasn't. I still hurt today, but I'm less intimidated by it. Also, more willing to go to bed on and off, as the body requires.

I'm nearly through my impossible time. It's been extended by a week or so, simply because I couldn't get everything done in the time I had hoped with that number of appointments for medical and insurance stuff, but life will be more manageable soon. The harder I work, the sooner it will be more manageable. This means I'm creating lists again... Of course I'm creating lists. Lists are wonderful things and solve much. Not weather for weather is contrary, but much.

I have a day when I have this vast half-formed desire to be wise and witty. The trouble is that wise wit doesn't come from vast half-formed desires. It should. My life would be so much more fun if it did.

Today the weather and I are carefully articulating our battle positions. I won all the earlier bouts and finished 2/3 of my tasks. Alas, I am losing right now and possibly need to marshal my troops (review them, take pain relievers, make a pot of coffee, eat chocolate) if I want to finish the list. I might have to do this anyway, for I have a grand ambition of watching a film tonight on TV. Patrick White as performed by some of my favourite actors. For this, a migraine will be an undesirable companion.

No other news today, for today is a day of much work. Unless buffalo sausage pilaf made using rice steamed in duck broth counts as news? I'm thinking it needs artichokes and marinated mushrooms interlaced, and a bed of mixed greens. It might demand a snap of tabasco. I also think I need to wait until the migraine is in abeyance before I actually eat it...
